Twin turbo
TT Turbo Kit I was wondering if this kit would work. I was really debating on doing it and then buying all the other stuff I would need. I found d-port flanges. I could cut off the old flange on the headers and weld those on. Take gander at the routing of these headers. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...0535%26fvi%3D1 and http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...8443%26fvi%3D1
I like how that looks, but its probably going to be some work. I'm still considering doing the same thing, but I'm not a welder and its going to take alot of time for me to get around to experimenting with it. If you use that kit on an LT1, your going to have to reroute the alternator. What I want to do to make a turbo kit easier is relocate the alternator. Delete the air pump, and A/C. Remove the Power steering pump and install an electric power steering pump. This would mean you only have to deal with one front mount accessory "other than the water pump" the alternator. That leaves tons of room for turbo manifolds.

So if I was to make adapter flanges for the LT1 to the standard SBC square port, do you guys think there would be any demand for them? It wouldn't take much, and I could have them as soon as tomorrow, but I'm not going to waste my time if there would be some kind of issue that I'm not seeing, please speak up if you know of a reason this wouldn't be a good idea.
Other than that, you would be able to use any SBC header or turbo header for the GEN 1 cylinder heads on your LT1, no garantee you won't have fitment issues with your chassis, ect... But they would bolt up and have "ballmilled" ports for a smooth transition from the LT1 ports to the SBC square port headers.
What do you guys think?

I've been wondering, so does realquick make hot part kits then if you want one? I was just wondering cause at first I thought he was just randomly selling them, but if I can pay at anytime to have one built thats neat. I suppose I'm thinking of running a LT1 in the 92 I'm building down the road instead of a LS based motor.
I am awaiting a pm back from PSJ on becoming a sponsor, so hopefully I wilh hear back this week. We have communicated via PM's since thanksgiving, but I am still waiting for a $$quote.

When I overlay the CAD drawings for the 2 flanges, they may or may not seal off. You MIGHT be able to use a square port header on a LT1, but definatly not a LT1 on a square port.
It was just an idea, and I'm ASSuming there would be little need or interested in an adapter?
